Tuesday was a historical night for American politics, as Hillary Clinton became the first woman to achieve her party's nomination for president.
Why then, many people asked Wednesday morning, was the image of Bill Clinton on the front pages of newspapers across the country?

Social media erupted within hours of the early editions hitting newsstands and doorsteps. From the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News to the Chicago Tribune and The Wall Street Journal, headlines announcing Hillary's nomination were frequently juxtaposed with an image of Bill during his speech in Philadelphia Tuesday night.
Claims of sexism and the so-called glass ceiling not truly being shattered were hammered out on keyboards from coast to coast.
The newspapers were quick to defend themselves, citing deadlines, as in the case of a Wall Street Journal reporter who pointed out that a later edition of their paper did in fact include an image of Hillary.
The Houston Chronicle, who printed an article online about the furor, not only mentioned that "the timing of the speech surpassed print deadlines for newspapers," another factor leading to the selection of a Bill photo instead of a Hillary photo was one of attendance.
Bill was in person Tuesday night at the convention; Hillary was not.
"As San Antonio Express-News photo editors, who also ran a lead image of Bill Clinton explained," the Chronicle wrote, "the Democratic nominee appeared on screen, rather than in person (as is tradition), which played into the decision.
"A photo of a candidate on screen, rather than the night's keynote speaker... doesn't accurately capture the moment," the Chronicle cited the Express-News staff as saying.
The Chronicle assured readers in their article on the matter that Friday's papers will feature a photo of Hillary, as she will appear in person Thursday night to speak.
